Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

"GRAAARRRRGH…!"

The Golem King gave a loud groan, its enormous, crystalline body quickly falling back and collapsing on the ground.

However, on is fury, its single red Demonite eye glowed brightly, firing a tremendous beam of pure, crimson-colored demonic energy!

TRUUUUMMM…!

"Shit…!"

Partner was right in front of it, so she was about to be forced to tank that hit at point blank.

Luckily, I teleported to her side through her shadows, putting myself in front of her, as I pointed my hands at the beam.

"[Eternal Moon Mirror]!"

My Moonlight Essence was quickly spent as it exuded from my body as a purple and pink colored energy, transforming into the shape of a beautiful silver moon in front of my hands.

FLAAASH!

The red beam was absorbed completely, as I couldn't help but smile evilly once its power was corrupted with my own!

"I love doing this." I smiled. "Take it back!"

TRUUUUMMMM…!

The beam was directly fired back at the golem, it tried to erect a barrier made of crystals and Demonite, but it blew up and pierced the golem's head.

BOOOOMMM!!!

"RAAAGGH…!"

The golem took the hit and fell once more. On its fury, countless demonic crystal spears materialized, trying to impale us from all sides.

"That's not happening!" Lucifer roared. "[Divinity Shattering Claws]! [Abyssal Death Divine Spear Tail]!"

His Claws and his long dragon Tail gained the powers of his Aura and Divinity, overflowing with Abyssal Death Flames.

He swung them against the crystal spears, shattering them all into pieces.

"I'll join too, papa!" Nyx, who had eagerly followed us, attacked as well with similar abilities as her daddy.

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

At the same time, Partner and I moved forwards to confront the golem, this time with our long-ranged attacks! Meanwhile, Emeraldine had already charged her arrows, firing a dozen while we conjured our attacks.

"[Divine Spiritual Archery Arts]: [Divine Holy Spirit Arrow Rain]! [Divine Yggdrasil's Arrows]!"

She fired a mix between arrows made of light and those made of spirit wood and nature. The ones of light were very fast, falling over the golem at quick succession, and chipping away at its durability.

The Yggdrasil Arrows were much stronger, however, piercing deeply into the crystals and then exploding into spiritual energy, spreading its roots further while dealing constant damage.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GRAAAH!"

The Golem tried to grow new arms in that moment, only for Emeraldine's Yggdrasil branches to grow around the area and stop it!

"You won't get any stronger!"

As she said those cool words, Lucifer and Nyx gathered their Mana into their jaws and unleashed a double breath attack, blasting the golem's legs and making it fall down.

BOOOMM!! BOOOMM!!

"GRUOOOGGG…!"

The monster relentlessly struggled, summoning crystal spears and firing beams of crimson demonic energy at us.

Partner and I valiantly destroyed and blocked all attacks with our weapon, making our way into the golem as we activated our Auras and Powers.

"Aim around the chest! Don't break the core too much!" I said.

"Okay, got it!" Partner nodded.

Wielding both of my weapons, I imbued all of my Aura into them! Lightning, Abyss, Shadows, Poison, Miasma, Chaos, and Swarms emerged out of their auras, twisting violently.

"[Accursed Abyssal Nightmare Blade Arts]: [Demonic Ascension]! [Barbaric Dark Axe Arts]: [Abyssal Catastrophe]!"

An ascending attack with my blade attacked the golem with a gigantic wave of pure darkness, slashing apart its defenses and spears.

SLAAAASSHH!!

The second attack released a catastrophic hacking blow, shattering its body even further and making it fall into pieces!

CRAAAASSHH!!

At the same time, Partner smiled, getting ready for a big attack! She was once more trying to steal the spotlight…

"Heh, this'll finish you off!" She smiled proudly. "[Demonic Blood Spear Arts]: [Void-Piercing Crimson Spear]!"

FLUOSH!

Partner channeled all her power into the tip of her two spears, fusing them together into a gigantic crimson one, and piercing the weakened golem's defenses completely.

Crack, CRACK…!

BOOOMMM!!!

The golem gave a last agonizing scream as it fired red beams everywhere desperately, its entire body ultimately collapsing, as the S Rank Crystal Core was left almost unscathed!

"Whew, it sure went out with a big explosion…" I sighed, looking around to make sure everyone was safe. I had protected them by dragging them into my shadows, but the entire cave was left with huge, burning craters.

I looked back to find the rest of the golems completely obliterated and Celes and Nia giving me thumbs up while sitting over their bodies.

"Looks like we're done in here!" I smiled, celebrating as I grabbed the huge S Rank Crystal Core of the Golem. "This guy was sure tough, but the mutation helped it get to S Rank, which I appreciate."

"Though, isn't it weird?" Wondered Lucifer. "Why would a mere Dungeon Mutation due to overpopulation make the Golem Boss get so strong? At most it should had been B+++ Rank."

"You're not wrong…" Said Emeraldine. "I also sense abnormally high quantities of Miasma and Demonic Energy coming from these monsters."

"Hmmm, this is sus." I said, rubbing my chin. "Could they have been boosted in power by someone else then? The warlocks, maybe?"

"I guess the Warlocks would have done it… But why?" Partner asked.

"No idea, we'll have to find out ourselves." I said. "The souls here are clean slates, so at the very least they weren't experimenting with people… But maybe… Maybe they were purposely making the monsters stronger here, so people don't explore the dungeon?"

"To keep people away from here then?" Lucifer wondered. "Maybe… This could be their hideout, just maybe. We don't have any confirmation yet."

"Well, if it's like that, then there's a possibility they were not only rising these monsters to such high Ranks to just protect hideout, but also perhaps to raise an army…" Emeraldine said, sighing.

"An army to destroy the city?" I asked. "But why would they want to destroy it? Isn't that place their endless supply of people?"

"Maybe… they wanted to do something much more sinister, for a greater goal." Lucifer revealed.

As we thought about it, Nyx walked to my side.

"Mama, I'm hungy…" Said Nyx, grabbing my dress and gently pulling it.

"Oh! Right, how about we have a meal before we continue then?" I asked. "We can talk about what happened while we're at it."
